How to Submit or Update a Song via eSong®

Use the eSong® Song tool in the HFA Portal to submit new works or update existing ones

Submitting or updating your song registrations through HFA’s eSong® portal is a straightforward process designed to help you securely manage your musical works.

  1. Log into your HFA account at https://hub.harryfox.com.
  2. Under the eSong header, select "Individual Registration Tool"
  3. Enter your song information.
    If registering new works, you only need to provide the following for each registration:
    1. Song title
    2. Writer’s first and last name
  4. Click "Search".
  5. Based on your search results:
    1. To submit a new work, click "Create New Work" at the bottom left of the page.
    2. To update an existing song code, click the "View" button for the desired work.
      1. Then, click the Edit button at the top right-hand side of the screen
  6. Each header has an edit option if you would like to add or edit details for that section. Please click the Edit pencil button next to the header name for the section you would like to edit. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*). Headers included are:
    1. Work Detail
    2. Writer(s)
    3. Publisher(s)
    4. Recording(s)

When registering a new work, you will be guided through the sections step by step. If at any point you would like to save your progress and return later, please click "Save draft" at the top right-hand corner of the screen. This will keep your submission in the "Registration Drafts" section of eSong for 3 months. Please note, you can only save a draft once, and saved drafts are removed after 3 months if not submitted.

     7.   After you have made all the necessary edits, press the Submit Work button at the                     bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

Once submitted, your request will be added to the queue for processing. You will see a green "Claim submitted" banner in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

To see the status of this submission, please visit Registration History under the eSong header, which shows a list of all requests submitted through eSong, along with their statuses. Click on any request number to view its full details.
